Expert and Patient Perspectives on Comprehensive Multiple Myeloma Treatment

Welcome to OncLive On Air^®! I’m your host today, Ashling Wahner.

OncLive On Air^® is a podcast from OncLive^®, which provides oncology professionals with the resources and information they need to provide the best patient care. In both digital and print formats, OncLive^® covers every angle of oncology practice, from new technology to treatment advances to important regulatory decisions.

In today’s episode, we passed the mic to Shaji Kumar, MD, a consultant in the Division of Hematology in the Department of Internal Medicine and a professor of medicine at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Dr Kumar moderated an OncLive^® Insights discussion on advances in the treatment of multiple myeloma. Rounding out the discussion with expert and patient perspectives were Krina K. Patel, MD, MSc, an associate professor in the Department of Lymphoma/Myeloma in the Division of Cancer Medicine at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Bonnie Falbo, a caregiver and patient advocate, and Jenny Ahlstrom, a patient with multiple myeloma.

In this exclusive conversation, Kumar, Patel, Falbo, and Ahlstrom highlighted the importance of comprehensive, community-based discussions regarding adverse effects in multiple myeloma, discussed the benefits of considering each aspect of treatment within the context of the whole treatment course, and interpreted subgroup analyses from the phase 3 MAIA trial (NCT02252172).
